Telemonster - Introspecter (Pt. 1) (CD)

An 8-panel jacket showcasing the beautiful artwork of Peter Vaughn, perfectly evoking the psychological gothic/noir theme of the album. In the sleeve you'll find a mesmerizing booklet of marbled pages, overlayed with lyrics from the album. Remove the disc and only the shadow of the man in the portrait remains. Introspecter (implying both “one who looks inward” and “a ghost within”) explores the darker side of human nature. Against the backdrop of workaday life, it grapples with those insidious impulses that most of us hide or perhaps refuse to acknowledge altogether. released November 2, 2018 Copyright 2018 Yellow Racket Records All songs by Ben VanderHart (ASCAP) except "Façade 1 (I Want You Around)" by Ben VanderHart and Dave Hess Telemonster is: Ben VanderHart - Vocals, Guitars, Piano, Keyboards/Synths, Programmed Drums, Hand Percussion Dave Hess - Piano, Keyboards/Synths John-Michael Forman - Bass Guitar, Miscellaneous Percussion Josh Barrett - Drums, Miscellaneous Percussion Additional performances by: Sam Miller - Violin Hannah Lutz - Viola Noah Barnett, "Barn Owl Cello" - Cello Grady Dickinson - Clarinet, Tenor Sax David Henry - Trumpet, Flugelhorn Micah Davis - French Horn Produced, engineered, and mixed by Ben VanderHart in Chattanooga, TN Mastered by David Barbe at Chase Park Transduction in Athens, GA (with thanks to Jason NeSmith) Artwork by Peter Vaughn
